Findings
I identified four findings. I list the four findings and discuss each finding supported by
rich, thick, and descriptive quotations from the blog postings. As I report the results of
the study, I refer to participants as students. I used pseudonyms for all student names
in reporting my study. The four findings follow:
(1) Appreciative blogging confirms personal strengths and successful leadership
experiences.
(2) Appreciative blogging bolsters a supportive learning environment.
(3) Appreciative blogging confirms the students’ history of successful leadership
experiences.
(4) Appreciative blogging increases social capital among students.
